Just got message exactly same asking PayPal and address ,,

I gave him my PayPal , since there no money on my account , didn't have address becuase I operate at home ,,

I'm scared he might used my PayPal account to hack me ...

Just had the same message sent to me.

Same story - from this email address: Mark Longworth <mrklongwrt@gmail.com>
Asking for Paypal Account details etc and offering a higher price, working on the Oil Rig out of NZ, Agent to collect etc etc….
BEWARE !

This guy gregjonesboy101@gmail.com has just tried to do exactly the same to my partner who is trying to sell his motorbike on gumtree. Claims he has sent the money for the bike + shipping, we asked for his name and address for the registration document he just ignored the question repeatedly so we googled his email address and we found this. Lucklily we had already decided we were going to tell him we were no longer selling the bike as he has been messing us around for a few days now. People like this need to be found out!

Yep got this one today for my car......from matthew taylor (mtmattaylor@gmail.com)
Thanks for mailing back,am ok with the price and the condition,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project.We do not have access to phone at the moment and that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal because i don't have access to my bank account online as am not with my credit card details here but i have my ANZ bank account link up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal to your nominated bank account or better still is if you have a PayPal account,please get back to me with PayPal account so i can proceed with the payment.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.

Await your reply


DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HE IS A FRAUD

Thankyou for posting this I had the exact same email about my bike. If this hadn't been up I would have been scammed so thankyou!

Hi also been targeted by gregjonesboy101@gmail.com, I don't have pay pal account :) was after my motorbike too.

They must think we were born yesterday and never goggle these people. Thank goodness we can warn each other

looks like he is targeting  lots of us bikers :(

I got text from gregjones101@gmail.com this morning asking me to email him about a bike i have for sale on gumtree, the text had no number just a name...celticlass8..Thought this was a little dodgy!! so googled the email ..."the scumbag"
Thanks for sharing the info..

I got this scan message from gregjonesboy101@gmail.com about my motorbike sale on gumtree uk:
Nice Hearing back from you..I'm quite satisfied with the condition and price. I will be paying the PayPal charges from my account and i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay,and i hope you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for it to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company..

Just got the same message about a bike I was selling on Gumtree. He wanted to pay the money into my Paypal account then get the bike picked up by courier, thought this was all very strange as I live in N Ireland. When I asked him for more details he didn't reply, exactly the same patter: you would think Paypal or Gum-tree would do something more to stop this sort of thing.

Got a SMS from +61409450797 A Pitt.Ben apparently working on a rig for New Zealand Oil and Gas and then a second one immediately as follows.

Friggin scam artist - why an oil worker needs to buy a small tinny unseen and then ship it across Australia for probably more than the cost of buying it....

Suggest all who find this report it, the more information the Feds have the better they can track them down and close 'em down too.

I have received emails and messages from this person also. Reading your message and the message from Lauren and various others we now know this is definitely dodgy. I am just backing up this email >>> gregjonesboy101@gmail.com <<< is a bad one.

Also a text was sent to my mobile, and without adding to contacts it instantly was recognised as >>>   nmiller123   <<<.

I notice that they seem to be targeting people selling on gumtree, motor vehicles, and when they were told to bid on eBay and pay through PayPal, all communication has since stopped.

SUSSED!!!

Thank you for listing this otherwise we may have fallen for this scam.

Hi Folks,
Got the same message from mrklongwrt@gmail.com Mark Longworth, who wants to buy my car offered through an Austrian Platform like Gumtree. My ad was posted beginning of April 2014.

Here we go:
Thanks for getting back and providing more info.. I am highly interested in it and will be offering you €21,700.
Am presently at work offshore, as a petroleum project engineer, and am buying it for my holiday as I will be coming home soon from our rig. I will not be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my job, but on the other hand, I would like us to get something clear, which is" the car belongs to you and I believe I can trust your judgement on this sale. All I want is something perfect for my holiday. I will be paying you via PayPal account, as it is the fastest & easiest way for me to make payment at this moment. do get back to me with your PayPal email account and name for me to proceed with payment. Also, I will need your address after I might have make payment for pickup to be arranged.

M. Longworth
